After studying Anna Alves-Lázaro's work, dedicated to Education, Information and Human Trafficking, I learned the risks of these causes and knew how to restrain these practices. According to statistics, Central Florida is among the regions with more reports of this kind of occurrence.
This foundation is a privilege! Yeah! A privilege! We can avoid a victim with our action or through others, it generates a unique feeling of gratitude. Making a difference in someone's life you've never seen, saving someone and loving them without looking at who allows us to become better people.
I am very happy to be able to carry out this volunteer work with Hope & Justice in the fight against Human Trafficking developing the website and all the marketing. It was an opportunity to stand up for an important cause. We are stronger and we can fight against human trafficking.
Being a volunteer at Hope & Justice Foundation doesn't only allow me to help victims of crimes, but also to prevent these crimes against the community through my work in marketing and social media. I'll always be thankful, because we are stronger together in fighting against these crimes.
In the dictionary, donate means “to give money, food, clothing, anything to help those in need”. That definition fits Hope & Justice easily. The Foundation cares about the well-being of others, and for me that is a reason for pride, because it welcomes with affection and respect, in a human way.
I met Hope & Justice Foundation with the aim of establishing partnership in actions and projects to combat crimes against women and children. I met the CEO and Founder Anna Alves-Lázaro and her team, who are committed to protecting women and children. I am delighted to be a partner and volunteer.
